In-layout proofreading

Full history of all changes, as text corrections and layout annotations are tracked automatically. A browser based solution your clients will love.

Terminology check

The integrated terminology module ensures that brand names, product names and other important information is validated, and that forbidden/deprecated terms are effectively blocked from the translation.

Frontlab Lingua

Frontlab Lingua is an online proofing solution for Language Service Providers (LSP’s) or companies doing their own in-house translation & localization

Frontlab Lingua extends upon Frontlab’s standard proofing solution, and besides the obvious advantages of doing the proofing in-layout, Lingua is focused on the special needs when doing translation and localization.

Translation Management

Lingua provides functionality that plugs into your existing translation process. From supporting the sales department with file conversions for the quotation process to automatically keeping your translation memories updated for the next job. The extensive API gives you endless options for automating your workflow – from single-sign-on to automatically uploading and downloading files.



Handling segments

Lingua is based on our standard proofing module, but takes the in-layout proofing to the next level, when it comes to translation and localization. It is capable of keeping track of the underlying translation segments throughout the proofing process. Proofreaders can have access to segment specific information during the editing process, and rules can be setup to warn or even prohibit proofreaders to make changes to segments that are locked or above a certain match percentage.

Backend Services

Easy file conversions speeds up the quotation process by eliminating the need for sending source files through your engineering/graphics department, before being able to analyze the translation content and complete the quotation.
Receive PDF’s, information on layers, overset text, etc in a few easy steps, and without any prior knowledge of using InDesign.
The back-end services can also be used in your translation process to automate file conversions, run clean-up scripts and do pre-flight checks.
